We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To grieve is something extremely difficult, we don't even know how to begin to grieve, and I don't know how you can be taught to grieve.
Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.
Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.
Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.
We may not only find faith in God in our sorrow. We may also become faithful to Him in times of calm.
If our hearts are ready for anything, we can open to our inevitable losses, and to the depths of our sorrow. We can grieve our lost loves, our lost youth, our lost health, our lost capacities. This is part of our humanness, part of the expression of our love for life.
Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.
We may thank God that we can feel pain and know sadness, for these are the human sentiments that constitute our glory as well as our grief.
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
Not without hope we suffer and we mourn.
